Lovely hotel- good service, complimentary hot cider and warm donuts in the lobby. I was supposed to be offered VIP access but was not. Would have been nice to have this benefit offered- it likely would have resulted in me not paying a nightly pet fee or having to pay for breakfast. Too bad.

Wonderful hotel, friendly staff
We’ve stayed here several times before and it’s lovely. The one issue we had was being put in a handicapped accessible room, which meant there was no tub. The issue was the lack of a lip in the shower. Water was everywhere in the bathroom. We have 2 boys, 10 and 13. They get water everywhere. It required towels all over the floor in the bathroom. But other than that, the stay was lovely.

It was on a trip to Descanso to celebrate Thanksgiving with my partner. And the room is amazing. Comfortable, with a panoramic view and a very beautiful view of the sunset and sunrise. We were amazed by the beauty that can be seen inside the room.

Horrible
The pool looked like it had not been cleaned in months. The pool itself has sunk maybe an inch leaving a tripping hazard the whole way around the pool that someone could trip on and cut their foot. We planned to take child to the pool but after getting to the pool we felt disgusted. We called the front desk a number of time and nobody answered the call. Very displeased with customer service definitely not worth the money we paid.
